    FEP Films

    FEP films offer excellent chemical resistance and release properties, and can also be easily fabricated. Compared to PFA, FEP films are lower in cost and temperature, and they have a low dielectric constant and dissipation with a continuous use temperature of 400°F (205°C), suitable for use in cryogenic and high temperature applications.

    We offer four different options for FEP film:

    • CHEMFILM® FEP-FG General Purpose Film
    • CHEMFILM® FEP-FS High Molecular Weight Film
    • CHEMFILM® FEP-RF Release Film
    • CHEMFILM® FEP-WF Welding Film

    Products

    FEP-FG General Purpose

    CHEMFILM FEP-FG, general purpose film, is manufactured from fluoroinated ethylene propylene resin. This film grade provides a low dielectric constant and excellent dissipation over a wide range of temperatures, from -425°F to 400°F (-254°C to 205°C), and frequencies for low signal distortion and attenuation in flexible printed circuit and flat cable applications.

    BENEFITS:

    • Outstanding anti-stick release properties
    • Superior dielectric and electrical insulation properties
    • Exceptional chemical resistance in aggressive environments
    • UV stable: long term performance in outdoor applications

    RELATED DOCUMENTS:

    • CHEMFILM FEP datasheet
    • CHEMFILM FEP safety datasheet

    RELATED APPLICATIONS: Dielectric insulation, Solar thermal collection, Industrial surface protection, Medical surface protection

    CHEMFILM FEP-FG General Purpose

    FEP-FS High Molecular Weight Film

    CHEMFILM FEP-FS film is made from high molecular weight fluorinated ethylene propylene resin for applications where high flex life and stress-crack-resistant performance are required, such as tank linings and diaphragms. Its temperature performance

    BENEFITS:

    • High molecular weight resin offers excellent stress crack resistance and flex life
    • Outstanding anti-stick release properties
    • Superior dielectric and electrical insulation properties
    • Exceptional chemical resistance in aggressive environments

    RELATED DOCUMENTS:

    • CHEMFILM FEP-FS datasheet
    • CHEMFILM FEP safety datasheet

    RELATED APPLICATIONS: Natural gas expansion joints, Diaphragms and gaskets, High performance bags

    CHEMFILM FEP-FS High Molecular Weight

    FEP-RF Release Film

    CHEMFILM FEP-RF, release film, is a clear or pigmented film manufactured from fluorinated ethylene propylene resin. FEP-RF is specifically desired for release applications. The non-stick surface, chemical resistance, and 400°F (205°C) usage temperature make it an ideal release film for composite molding over a wide range of resin systems.

    BENEFITS:

    • Easy de-molding prevents damage and contamination of parts and the mold
    • Temperatures suitable for high temperature resin systems in composite molding
    • Exceptional chemical resistance in aggressive environments
    • UV stable: long term performance in outdoor applications

    RELATED DOCUMENTS:

    • CHEMFILM FEP datasheet
    • CHEMFILM FEP-RF safety datasheet

    RELATED APPLICATIONS: Composite molding, Wind turbine manufacturing

    CHEMFILM FEP-RF Release Film

    FEP-WF Welding Film

    FEP-WF welding film is an ideal economical solution for applications that don’t require high aesthetic standards, such as hot melt adhesives (welding tape). FEP-WF film has an operating temperature range of -425°F to 400°F (-254°C to 205°C) and possesses all of the physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of FEP-FG grade, while offering up to 25% savings.

    BENEFITS:

    • Suitable for extreme indoor and outdoor sealing and welding use
    • Superior dielectric and electrical insulation properties
    • Exceptional chemical resistance in aggressive environments
    • UV stable: long term performance in outdoor applications

    RELATED DOCUMENTS:

    • CHEMFILM FEP datasheet
    • CHEMFILM FEP safety datasheet

    RELATED APPLICATIONS: Process belting and casting, Welding
